I include all of that in my person to person training. 

Other syndiicators are not good operators. 

They may seem attractive on a spreadsheet if you are chasing cash flow, but the fundamentals are not as strong and these properties are  disproportionately impacted by capex and operating costs.

I will be managing all booking, renovation, and maintenance operations of the STR (besides mandatory front desk operations, and cleaning - required to be run by the Hotel).

My spouse and I didn’t learn our lesson here and took on a second partner in a real estate/restaurant operation and ended up again having to have legal action to sever the partnership when it failed.

Analyze deals like a pro using the 1% rule and understand operating expenses before making an offer.

Your best investment is in yourself.Consider going to college or learning a trade.Use the funds to invest in something that does not require much time so you can focus on learning.If you do decide to get into real estate, you may want to consider doing a house-hack.It will give you a place to live(potentially saving you a few hundred dollars from paying rent and also giving you training wheels for being a landlord).

In the middle of buying out partner (50:50 partnership) in a mixed-use owner operated Gas station and real estate property.

I’d reccomend figuring out value of your time and then thinking about much time it’ll take you from an operations perspective and divy out % that way.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
